Looks nice!

BTW, what program did you use to display the iphone screen to the right and be able to interact with it?

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

The program is REFLECTOR http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/

Its simulator a AirPlay and then you can transmit your screen to them.

I think will be good to have an option to show the Activity bar on Bottom (like now) and also on Top.

[Erel]

The library was not uploaded to the hosted builder as it is not a free library.

 

[sureshCentium]

So it mean we need to buy the library first and then use it in my app?

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

DEAR USERS!!!

THIS A LITTLE GIFT FROM ME TO ALL B4i USERS.

The version 1.0.1 is full and no more limitations and no more donation message in this library.

Erel, can you put in host server for everyone?

The library version 1.0.1 is in the first post.


Thanks

Alberto Iglesias

PS: Please, like this!

 

[sureshCentium]

Thats great Alberto Iglesias, thank you and let me know once it is available so that i can make use of it.

 

[Erel]

Thank you Alberto. It is online now.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Can you put in http://www.b4x.com/b4i/documentation.html ?

Thanks

 

[Erel]

It will be added in the next time I update this page.

 

[fbritop]

Alberto
This is a nice library, but I think it lacks of a click event (in order to dismiss or take an action).

May another goodie would be to setup a timer interval on "Show" method, in order to automatically dissapear?

Good library anyway!
Thanks
FBP

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Hello FBP,

Yes... I need to update with some new functions... Right now i´m in vacation, but in my return I do this for all comunity!

Thanks

Alberto Iglesias
